1967 Volkswagen Beetle | Salisbury, Wiltshire

A 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, the rounded, rear-engined small car that filled 1960s streets and gave the screen Herbie the Love Bug. Its air-cooled flat-four sits at the back, and Beetles from 1965 onwards have larger windows that make the cabin feel light and open. This car is Green with a grey interior, a soft period pairing that sits well against stone, brick and open countryside. It has the 1.2-litre engine and a two-door body with room for four. The curved panels catch the light gently, and the plain cabin reads clearly through a lens. The shape gives 1960s-set film and television, music videos, and fashion and editorial shoots an immediate period reference, and the generous glass lets daylight into interior shots. At events it gives guests a friendly car to gather around. A wedding or personal occasion suits it too. The car is based in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
